Can't get an exact price because you didn't give your Serial Number prefix, but somewhere around $60 each for genuine Cat shoes.

They should be around $32 dollars from the same manufacture that makes them for Cat. Don't make the mistake of buying them fom the dealer. Its like buying shoe laces from a dealer. There universal. Just don't buy Chinese product as the sacrifice the material in the product that ends up with unwanted down time. Good luck Brook

My local dealer is $64.50 each for genuine Cat shoes. I just picked a Part number at random for a D6R 36" shoe, there are about a dozen different ones. If I was in the Continental US it would be slightly lower than that.
Good luck trying to buy track shoes from the people who make them for Cat. You'll usually find that have a sole-supplier contract and are not allowed to sell them to anyone else. Now they may also manufacture a shoe that is a "will fit" alongside their Cat line that they can sell, but generally you'll find it will have inferior metallurgy just like the Chinese ones you mentioned and therefore won't last as long. "It's cheap for a reason ......."
Ever thought about re-grousering if the base of your existing shoes are still think enough and the shoes are not twisted (always a problem with LGP shoes) ...? If so take a look at Dura-Tuff Grouser Bar - www.dura-tuff.com/
